Abstract:
A study of the microstructural differences between exfoliated and non-exfoliated MoS 2 -based materials is presented, relating them to differences in their catalytic activity. Both commercial (crystalline) MoS 2 and molybdenum sulfide catalysts prepared by thiosalt decomposition are subjected to chemical exfoliation reported to separate MoS 2 monolayers from the original structure. Electron microscopy results show that the chemical treatment yields non-typical MoS 2 nanostructures. Average surface area is also modified by exfoliation. The thiophene HDS activity of commercial MoS 2 increases after exfoliation, while it decreases after exfoliation in the case of MoS 2 catalysts.
